. . . I signed up for high-wired acts
If I lose my balance just cut me some slack
I'm holding out for what can be
EMC squared possibility
Experience to be alive
The abstract now is literalized
You have dreams and nightmares to explore
Get the goods Get off the floor
Get off the floor
Get off the floor
PLUNGE by John P. Graboski
Performed by Oho (rehearsal recording)

AMBIENCE & WINE
"Surrealistic cowboy poetry. Springsteen on
mescaline. Steve Earle on a literary jag. Wilco with grit.
. . expansive, exotic Americana, urgent,
whiskey-fed melodies topped with lyrics that often seem to consist of a
string of vivid images and striking non sequiturs . . . " -Jason Warburg, The Daily Vault
". . . punchy roots rock fit for prime time. In their
incarnation on Hotel, some of these tracks displayed a raw beauty that
tended toward sprawl. . . " -Nick Zaino III, Paste magazine
". . . Combining many traditional American styles,
including rock, bluegrass, country, and even a smidge of blues, Mark
McKay, continues his style of mellow and melancholy acoustic (or
acoustic-type) rock with heavy country influence . . . " -Sarah Kantor, Emmie Magazine

. . . Songwriters’ Showcase this Monday, March 5, Mr. Rod Deacy tells us. . .
". . . we welcome back one of my personal favorites, a dynamic performer and terrific songwriter well-known in the DC area -- JUSTIN TRAWICK! Mr. Trawick is a bundle of energy, with great chops and a bunch of literate and interesting songs, which adds up to a riveting show!
Justin always brings fans with him, too, which will be a shot in the arm – Brewer’s Alley has been a little less full than we like these last few weeks… I know it’s hard to get motivated to leave the warm and comfortable home cocoon on a winter evening – but we need you at Brewer’s Alley! Please come out and support FREE LIVE ACOUSTIC MUSIC on a Monday evening – you don’t have to stay up late, as we finish around 10:30 pm, but we need a full room, not only because it enables us to keep putting on the Showcase, but because it makes for a better experience for our performers – who play for free… Frederick is a culture-rich town that only stays that way with strong support!
For the piano prelude this week, we welcome Rhianon! As usual, come early to find good seats for the evening and to catch the entire 30 minutes of the prelude. You can come upstairs from 7:15 pm on (sometimes earlier if Sarah is ready; performers can come up when they arrive).
For three-song cameo performers this week, we have Canadian-born now Maryland resident Eugene Benjamin, and the splendid duo of Kate Maguire and Claudia SanSoucie known as Beggar’s Ride; Kate and Claudia are featuring in August. Todd’s Pick is Scott Barrett, a regular performer in local venues… We will also be hearing from the usual crew; poet John Holly reciting his poems in between other performers, Tomy Wright, playing percussion, then guitar and singing at the end of the evening, plus Todd C. Walker who also takes photos, helps emcee and helps run sound. We plan on Tomy, Todd and I all playing after the feature this week, as we haven’t had much microphone time recently…
Tomy One M Wright will be joined again by Ron Goad this week – together they form the Semi-Grateful Percussion Section… (I figured Semi-Grateful was better than Almost Dead…) I promise that no other Showcase in the USA has percussion like us! And watch out this week, as Mister Goad says his “thoughts are turning to Spring,” whatever that means… Is he going to vacuum out his car again? Polish his djembe? Hammer out the dents in his hi-hat? Only he knows… I’m pretty sure it’s too soon for him to start wearing shorts again, but stranger things have happened…"
